Chito Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 I don't think there is the most deadly move... although some are rather brutal. In some of our bunkai, the area we strike can be severe. For example, one movement has the attacker coming in and with a bit of shift to their side, we slam the side/back of their knee with a side kick. They go down and a knife hand strike is leveled on the back of their neck. If done properly... I think sometimes we don't realize that it takes little pressure to break certain bones, etc. Also, just a legal matter. In Canada at least, if you're attacked, you must only use REASONABLE force to defend yourself. If you nail your attacker and they get seriously hurt, you can get charged with assault. It's a tricky situation especially with the hard style we practise. I sometimes think I should have gone with Aikido Cuz I know if I get attacked, especially with multiple people and I know my life is in danger, I'm not holding back.
